BCMMDocScrutinizer05: why would i want a clean install rather than a restored install?00:05
DocScrutinizer05sorry, I don't get that. Any way that's not what I suggested00:06
*** valerius2k has left #maemo00:06
chem|stcssu-s 6.1...00:07
BCMMDocScrutinizer05: sorry, i mean a backup of a clean install00:08
*** GI_Jack has joined #maemo00:08
DocScrutinizer05because a restore of a clean system can get done locally, while to install cssu anew you need internet etc00:09
DocScrutinizer05also you can do partial restores of single files etc from a BM backup00:09
DocScrutinizer05so if e.g. your rcS-late got messed up and you want to restore the original CSSU version, you don't need to do a full reflash plus cssu install, you simply pick rcs-late from your BM backup00:11
DocScrutinizer05and generally there's a golden rule: always make a backup *before* you restore sth, so you can undo the restore00:12
DocScrutinizer05likewise always make a backup before you install sth, so you can roll back the installation00:13

BCMMDocScrutinizer05: does osso-backup remove files at all? or just add?00:53
BCMMcause i'm pretty sure there's things missing from the backup taken after things went wrong, but i have an older backup00:53

XATRIXHi guys, i could make boot-flash disk from my microSD within my nokia09:37
XATRIXBut i have a question09:37
XATRIXI made a partition sda1 over 410MB and place there rescuecd, but i'd like to use this flash as a storage for nokia as well09:38
XATRIXWhat file system do i have to place on a second partition ?09:38
XATRIXvfat ?09:38
XATRIXCurrently, N900 tells me i have corrupt flash disk installed in. But if i switch to USB Stroage Mode, i can boot from!09:39

DocScrutinizer05XATRIX: you can use basically whatever you like on 2nd partition, though i'd probably suggest ext3. Anyway the stock fremantle can't mount more than one partition automatically, and it will frown on anything that's not VFAT10:32
DocScrutinizer05in CSSU we have a improved ke-recv and relatives, that do automounting for basically everything, even for multiple partitions10:33
DocScrutinizer05I gather your first partition is a CD ISO-image though, and I dunno if that's supported at all, you might have to blacklist this partition from mounter-script (now I finally found out why I insisted on including that blacklist function there \o/)10:35
DocScrutinizer05with the needed fs driver modules you might try a mount -t iso9660 or sth10:36
XATRIXDocScrutinizer05: Where's the auto-mounter script is ?10:39
XATRIXYes, seems like i have iso9660 for sda1,and vfat fro sda210:40
XATRIXBut it's not goona be mounted10:40

vi__At 3am check to see that keyboard is closed and screen is off (means it is probably asleep), swap on/swap off etc.11:22
Lava_Croftthe 'probably' in there already ruined it for me11:24
vi__Seriously?11:25
Lava_Crofti had scripts like that before, like a GUI a bit better11:27
Lava_Croftso i can see for myself how much swap has been written11:27
Lava_Croftwhich swap is actually in use, etc11:27
Lava_Croftand a bit easier to use11:28
Lava_Croftits not inherently better than a cron script11:28

XATRIXDocScrutinizer05: whan i connect my nokia as a data storage will it represent sc card as a 1 disk, or it will feed it to windows as per partition ?11:45
DocScrutinizer05afaik per partition11:46
DocScrutinizer05I.E. each exported partition makes for a separate storage device iirc11:47
divVerentyes, SD card is exported as a whole12:14
divVerentso if your SD card has partitions, the OS will see partitions too12:14
divVerentas opposed to this, the flash memory will be exported differently - only the MyDocs partition gets exported12:14
divVerentthis BTW also means that if you, like I do, have swap on external SD card, and use mass storage mode...12:14
divVerentyou should be careful not to touch that partition from the PC's OS :P12:15
*** xray256 has quit IRC12:23
*** _rd has quit IRC12:27
*** jon_y_ is now known as jon_y12:32
XATRIXThe trouble i faced here. I plug my SD card using the microSD adapter to PC and made sda1(vfat)+sda2(iso9660(boot)) partitions12:32
XATRIXThen i applied it to Nokia, then exported as a Storage mode12:32
divVerentwhy would you use this second partition?12:32
divVerentstill... this is supposed to work12:32
XATRIXwait a sec12:33
XATRIXNow i boot my windows and see Removable Disk 29,28GB in Disk management console12:33
XATRIXAnd it has H:12:34
divVerentuntil here it sounds all good12:34
XATRIXBut unknown partition12:34
divVerentis the size the size of the VFAT partition?12:34
XATRIXit doesn't see it as a vfat partition. Also, i have the second partition about 1024 (that's my iso9660) Active(bootable) But has no assigned disk letter12:35
divVerentunless you already did this, I recommend you to do the partitioning and formatting as VFAT from Windows, if you want to be sure that Windows can read it12:35
XATRIXThey all looks like unformatted12:35
divVerentdid you create the partitions from Linux?12:35
XATRIXYes12:35
divVerentthat is it probably12:36
*** _rd has joined #maemo12:36
XATRIXmkfs.vfat12:36
divVerentwhen creating the partition12:36
divVerenthow did you partition?12:36
divVerentthe thing is, you should be asked about a partition type12:36
divVerentand it defaults to a "Linux partition"\12:36
divVerentwhich windows will not even try to probe12:36
XATRIXAh12:36
XATRIXYes, i remember12:36
divVerentyou can fix it now, by using fdisk on Linux again12:36
divVerentand setting the partition type to something VFAT12:36
divVerentthis will not delete any data12:36
XATRIXOk12:36
divVerentthere is multiple VFAT related types, I have no idea which is the right one12:37
divVerentin the past I always guessed right12:37
XATRIXW95 FAT12:37
divVerentso if it does not work, try another sounding like FAT12:37
XATRIXOk12:37
divVerentthere is IIRC also some LBA one, which sounds more right... but I have no idea12:37
divVerentnever had any issues with guessing yet :P12:37
divVerentor, check some USB stick that works, and see which type that oen uses :P12:38
XATRIXI wonder why i can't do it with N900 using ssh ^^12:38

*** sixwheeledbeast has quit IRC12:51
XATRIXHm... i changed my part types to W95 FAT (LBA) both12:52
XATRIXAnd was able to formart sda112:52
XATRIXIn windows...  But windows doesn't want to formart my second partition12:52
Paliwindows has notoriously bad or none support for partitions and filesystems12:58
Paliwindows 7 still has bad and seems still none support for more MBR partitions on SD cards for 3rd IFS filesystems12:59
Palirather use some linux for formatting12:59
DocScrutinizer05I'm not sure there's *any* particular partition type you could use for an ISO9660 image13:02
Paliin MBR?13:03
DocScrutinizer05yes13:03
Paliyes, there is no MBR partition ID for iso966013:04
XATRIXYes, but i'm going to formart this small partition as FAT32 , aquire a letter for a drive (e.g G:) and write the image to the disk G: using UltraISO13:04
DocScrutinizer05no surprise, since ISO9660 is sipposed to be MBR-less13:04
XATRIXBut i can't format it as fat32 :)13:04
Palido not use windows for it13:04
Paliit is OS which cannot do what you want13:05
DocScrutinizer05use cfdisk or sfdisk on N90013:05
DocScrutinizer05I prefer cfdisk13:05
Palisfdisk is preinstalled on n90013:05
DocScrutinizer05yes, but cryptic13:05
PaliI'm still using fdisk & gdisk because both tools doing what I want13:06
DocScrutinizer05I suggest you make your ISO9660 the *first* partition13:06
XATRIXI have no cfdisk, nor sfdisk installed in PR1.3 )13:06
Pali(and not what programmers think that I should want)13:06
DocScrutinizer05will most probably work better for boot-"CD"13:06
XATRIXDocScrutinizer05: Doesn't matter the order of, i checkd13:06
DocScrutinizer05mhm13:07
DocScrutinizer05fine then13:07
Palifor bootCD there is el-torito iso image. that iso image contains fat32 bootable partition13:07
DocScrutinizer05I'm quite surprised that your BIOS is accepting this obfuscated setup13:07
DocScrutinizer05XATRIX: and yes, you have sfdisk13:07
XATRIX:))))13:07
XATRIXi have no13:08
Palinow bioses checking only active(boot) partition13:08
Palisfdisk is needed by rcS-late13:08
Paliso if you do not have sfdisk, your maemo is not bootable anymore13:08
XATRIXlet's see13:08
DocScrutinizer05yes, you have!13:09

DocScrutinizer05you just don't have sbin in your user's $PATH13:09
Palisfdisk is part of busybox :-)13:09
XATRIXhttp://imgur.com/5Dpfe5I - that's what i receive when i try to formart my 1GB partition13:10
Paliso if you do not have sfdisk --> you do not have busybox --> you do not have maemo 5 :-)13:10
XATRIXyou right, i have sfdisk :(13:10
PaliXATRIX: do not use f*cking windows system for formatting which does not support it :-)13:10
XATRIX)13:10
DocScrutinizer05so you either become root and check/fix your $PATH, or invoke /sbin/sfdisk, or busybox sfdisk13:11

XATRIXWhy does it tell me about p3 and p4 ?13:20
DocScrutinizer05since all MBR have 4 partitions13:20
Palibecause MBR always have 4 partitions13:20
XATRIXvfat is done13:20
DocScrutinizer05the data structure is defined that way13:20
XATRIXAh13:20
XATRIXAnd the last one - ~#sync :)13:21
XATRIXto flush buffers13:21
DocScrutinizer05yeah, good idea13:21
DocScrutinizer05+ sleep 513:22
XATRIX?13:22
DocScrutinizer05since even after sync returns, the flash controller might still be busy writing back last block to flash13:22

XATRIXO_O windows now detects it as ONE partition G: 27GB13:23
DocScrutinizer05wow13:23

DocScrutinizer05you removed and re-inserted uSD after changing partition table?13:27
XATRIXBut i have the same trouble as i described on a screenshot13:27
XATRIXNo i didn't extract Sd13:27
XATRIXSimply plug in the USB-cable13:28

DocScrutinizer05 /dev/mmcblk1p2   * 92782613:32
XATRIXmaybe it's not critical ?13:33
DocScrutinizer05you should unplug, open and close back cover, then plug again13:34

XATRIXI hope it doesn't demagnet data on it ;)13:42
DocScrutinizer05well, when you remove the uSD it breaks anyway13:42
DocScrutinizer05so what's wrong with magnet switching it off gracefully?13:42
DocScrutinizer05it's your swap that's not working correctly ;-P13:42
*** sixwheeledbeast has quit IRC13:43
DocScrutinizer05or your uSD card that's flawed in that it needs hysical contact to the device, to operate13:44
DocScrutinizer05physical13:44
DocScrutinizer05you wouldn't renove backcover anyway, except for removing uSD or even whole battery13:44
*** Nitial has joined #maemo13:45
Lava_Croftremoving the backcover is not equal to removing the sdcard, therefore unmounting the sdcard when removing the backcover is overzealous13:45
Lava_Croftits like my shower starts to spray me wet the moment i enter my bathroom13:46
DocScrutinizer05of course Nokia could've built in a servo lock into backcover that allows opening it up only after you umounted every partition on uSD13:46
Lava_Croftthey could have done a lot for the n900 hw :)13:46
Lava_Croftill agree on that13:46
Lava_Croftflopswap does 'solve' that kind of nicely13:47

Lava_Croftvery important matter in N900 world13:48
DocScrutinizer05simple: 512MB additional RAM13:49
Lava_Croftthats not as easy13:49
divVerentmy solution is a small shell script I run on every startup from xterm manually13:49
jaskaswap was an awful idea to begin with13:49
divVerentthat does swapon to a MMC partition, then lets me enter the master password generator key13:49
jaskaon a "phone"13:49
divVerentcreates a ramdisk for part of gconf (the modest accounts)13:49
divVerentand fills in the passwords13:49
DocScrutinizer05jaska: I tend to agree13:49
Lava_Crofti just use the flopswap method now, but havent been using it long enough yet13:50
divVerentflopswap?13:50
Lava_Croftsome gui for swap management, kind of13:50
Lava_Crofthttp://wiki.maemo.org/Flopswap13:51
Lava_Croftits rather limited and simple, but does the job13:51
divVerentwtf... why TWO swap parts on SD?13:51
Lava_Croftso you can swap between em when one gets fragmented13:51
DocScrutinizer05to switch between them13:51
Lava_Croftso you dont have to switch between eMMC and SD13:51
Lava_Croftwhich reduces wear on the emmc13:51
DocScrutinizer05and increases defragment time by 213:51
Lava_Croftno shit13:52
Lava_Croftsometimes it would take scary long to move swap back to eMMC13:52
divVerentstill... probably makes no sense13:52
DocScrutinizer05two times swapon&&swapoff13:52
Lava_Croftyeah13:52
divVerentit's not like the N900 stays up that long that swap fragmentation is an actuasl issue13:52
Lava_Croftit doesnt?13:52
Lava_Croftmine certainly does13:52
DocScrutinizer05for uSD->eMMC and then eMMC->uSD13:52
divVerentmine crashes about once every 2 weeks13:52
Lava_Croftmy n900 basically only reboots when i have to or when i forget to recharge13:52
DocScrutinizer05divVerent: ooh?13:52
divVerentand in that time, swap fragmentation is no issue13:52
Lava_Croftwhich isnt often13:52

divVerentthere is 4 version of omp in apt... maybe the previous does not have the issue?13:55
divVerentyes, but it hits me only once per reboot13:56
divVerentand once every 2 weeks is ok13:56
Lava_Croftits only once per reboot, yes13:56
Lava_Croftbut since it seems like a regression, it annoys me more13:56
divVerentwell, 2 weeks is the AVERAGE quota...13:56
Lava_Croftprobably would annoy less if it was always there:D13:56

sixwheeledbeastBad internet and had to get back to work20:04

*** eijk_ has joined #maemo20:08
sixwheeledbeastflopswap has to have swaps in 0p3, 1p2 and 1p3 to work.20:10
DocScrutinizer05yes20:13
DocScrutinizer05but your flowswap probably gets confused when /proc/swaps says "mmcblk0p3" but in /proc/diskstats there's only a "mmcblk1p3" (which happens to be the same)20:14
sixwheeledbeastI have yet to see this happen, or have any reports of issues...20:15
sixwheeledbeastdoesnt this happen with no uSD?20:15
DocScrutinizer05look at my pastebin20:15
DocScrutinizer05when you boot system with uSD the in early boot uSD is mmcblk0 and eMMC is mmcblk1. Later during boot those devices get swapped, but that doesn't take effect for /proc/partitions, /proc/diskstat and probably a few others20:16
DocScrutinizer05it however DOES take effect for /proc/swaps20:17
DocScrutinizer05since - I guess - the renaming is done before swapon20:17
DocScrutinizer05and no, this doesn't happen without uSD since then the eMMC is mmcblk020:18
sixwheeledbeasts/doesnt/does/20:18
sixwheeledbeastso these are two different devices? do they both have uSD cards installed?20:18
infobotsixwheeledbeast meant: does this happen with no uSD?20:18
DocScrutinizer05since the kernel names first device it detects mmcblk0 and the next one mmcblk1 (a.s.o.)20:19
*** MetalGearSolid07 has quit IRC20:19
DocScrutinizer05[2013-06-19 14:34:15] <DocScrutinizer05> http://privatepaste.com/bc16158544 is how it looked before I removed the uSD, on device which booten with uSD inserted20:20
DocScrutinizer05and this http://privatepaste.com/3b4ca2d70f is after I removed uSD on that device20:21
DocScrutinizer05(I did some browsing to bump up cache)20:21
sixwheeledbeastHow many swap partitions do you have?20:23
DocScrutinizer05I'm waiting on the other device for the calibration cycle to finish, then I'll reboot that one with and without uSD - that's however a PR1.2++ with hostmode kernel20:24
DocScrutinizer05sixwheeledbeast: how is number of my swap partitions relevant? I haven't even installed flopswap20:24
*** Vlad_on_the_road has joined #maemo20:25
DocScrutinizer05I just checked whole tmo thread if your flopswap handles this insane device-renaming somewhere, and since I didn't find anything I thought I introduce the issue to you20:26
sixwheeledbeastWell thank you. I wasn't aware and haven't had any issues yet. I will look into it.20:27
sixwheeledbeastI have yet to see a device with 0p1 0p2 0p3 missing in diskstats20:27
sixwheeledbeastlike your pastebin20:27
DocScrutinizer05you usually won't since that only happens when you remove uSD20:28
DocScrutinizer05the usual situation is that you see both 0p? and 1p? just they are *swapped*20:28
DocScrutinizer05SCRN ;-D20:28
DocScrutinizer05SCNR even20:29
DocScrutinizer05I noticed it by the size in /proc/partitions20:29
DocScrutinizer05since my uSD is only 16GB20:29
sixwheeledbeastWell flopswap pushes swap to 0p3 (emmc) before ejecting the uSD20:30
DocScrutinizer05well, that's fine since after renaming the names apply to swapon as well20:30
DocScrutinizer05just you usage-calculation will deliver absolutely bogux values20:31
sixwheeledbeastat this point flopswap calculations are disabled until 1p2 and 1p3 reappear.20:31
DocScrutinizer05still you calculate the values for eMMC when you calculate anything20:31
sixwheeledbeasteh?20:32
*** raid__ has quit IRC20:33
DocScrutinizer05you determine the active swap by cat /proc/swaps | awk '/dev/ {print $1}' | cut -d "/" -f 320:34
DocScrutinizer05this returns mmcblk0p320:35
DocScrutinizer05the statistics you acquire via blocks=$(awk '{if ($3=="'"$disk"'") print $10}' /proc/diskstats) however..20:37
DocScrutinizer05returns the statistics for uSD for disk=mmcblk0p320:37
*** florian has joined #maemo20:37
*** florian has joined #maemo20:37
DocScrutinizer05and eMMC for for disk=mmcblk1p320:37
sixwheeledbeastbut AFAIK if swap is 0p3 this is ignored and "Not available on Device Swap" is displayed.20:39
sixwheeledbeastpeterl wrote a large part of this script.20:39
DocScrutinizer05I.E. when both mmcblk0 and mmcblk1 are present in /proc/diskstats and you assume the uSD has been inserted at boottime already, then you need to use 0p3 for statistics when proc/swap says 1p3, and you need to use 1p3 for statistics when /proc/swaps says 0p320:40
DocScrutinizer05I haven't looked into that script, I thought if it had such special handling then this would've been mentioned in tmo thread or by you here in IRC today, meanwhile20:41
DocScrutinizer05you can easily reproduce the proof: disable flowswap resp move swap to eMMC. do20:44
DocScrutinizer05cat /proc/swaps | awk '/dev/ {print $1}' | cut -d "/" -f 320:44
DocScrutinizer05and20:44
DocScrutinizer05cat /proc/diskstats20:44
DocScrutinizer05then remove uSD (nothig should happen since swap is on eMMC, right?)20:44
DocScrutinizer05and do both commands again20:45
DocScrutinizer05you'll instantly notice the problem when you carefully compare the device names in proc/swaps and proc/diskstats20:45
DocScrutinizer05if you can't reproduce this, then I'd be highly interested to hear about it20:46

*** GI_Jack has joined #maemo21:06
keriofwiw, it's a windows thing21:07
DocScrutinizer05when your BIOS detects that device as a CD, then probably windows will refuse to look for any partitions on it, since the BIOS tells windows about the type of device. And even when not told by BIOS, I'd guess windows is confused to hell by such a setup21:07

DocScrutinizer05it might work as long as there's no MBR before the start of ISO image21:27
DocScrutinizer05so the PC thinks it's a CD drive21:27
Paliand this doing now all linux live distributions21:27
XATRIXok (21:28
DocScrutinizer05but a CD drive has nothing like your partitions, neither a MBR21:28
DocScrutinizer05an USBstick is way more like a HDD than like a CD21:29

DocScrutinizer05thanks21:30
DocScrutinizer05XATRIX: is gone ;-)21:30
XATRIXi'm here21:31
XATRIXjust moved to laptop21:31
PaliXATRIX: look http://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/11285.html21:31
XATRIXOk, let's investigate this21:31
*** vblazquez has quit IRC21:32
XATRIXThe interesting fact, i've started my girlfriend's Ubuntu, and it automounted 2 partitions from my f**ed up mmc1 :)))))))21:32
XATRIXWindows is a junk21:32
DocScrutinizer05>>One of the fun things about ISO9660 is that it doesn't have a boot sector in the usual x86 sense<<21:32
PaliWindows has none support for HW21:32
XATRIXSounds if :)21:33
XATRIXwait a bit21:33
DocScrutinizer05El Torito !!!! that's been the magic word21:33
XATRIXmy boot partition on mmc1 is not iso 966021:33
XATRIX/dev/sdc5 on /media/xatrix/5308-0520 type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,gid=1000,shortname=mixed,dmask=0077,utf8=1,showexec,flush,uhelper=udisks2)21:33
XATRIX/dev/sdc1 on /media/xatrix/sysrcd-3.7. type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,gid=1000,shortname=mixed,dmask=0077,utf8=1,showexec,flush,uhelper=udisks2)21:33
Paliof course, because iso9660 *cannot* be bootable partition21:34
XATRIXSo, what's wrong with fat ? :(21:34
Palithere is no way how to boot from is9660 image21:34
XATRIXfat != iso966021:35
Palifat partition can be bootable21:35
XATRIXi have both fat21:35
Paliinstall that your linux system on that fat partition21:35
XATRIXYes, i have it21:35
Paliand then install syslinux to MBR (and told it to boot from second parition correct kernel/initfs)21:35
Palithats all21:36
*** vblazquez has joined #maemo21:36
Paliand mark second as bootable21:36
XATRIXYes, currently my mmc1 is bootable21:36
XATRIX      sdc5               NC                 Logical         vfat                                              30222,0621:36

XATRIXAh, better to paste to pastebin21:37
DocScrutinizer05*sigh*21:37
XATRIXYes, it's crappy partitioning, but i'm experimenting21:37
XATRIXI can boot from this mmc121:37
XATRIXBut in windows, i can't run both patitions mounted21:37
XATRIXOnly one is operating21:37
DocScrutinizer05well, blame windows21:38
XATRIXI have to solve it somehow21:38
DocScrutinizer05I'm afk, this is getting exhausting21:38
XATRIXok, anyway thanks for the help21:38
DocScrutinizer05read the very fine article Pali linked for you21:39
DocScrutinizer05it tells you how to create a usbstick that can even boot on macintosh21:39
DocScrutinizer05and it explains all the nasty tricks needed to establish that21:39
DocScrutinizer05like: on a CD the first few sectors are bootloader code. On a HDD it's supposed to be the partition table21:40
DocScrutinizer05so you either run your partition table as code, or you consider your bootloader code as partition table21:41
DocScrutinizer05neither makes sense21:41
DocScrutinizer05so what those guys do is vreate a partition with a MBR and a bootloader that loads the ISO image21:42
DocScrutinizer05aiui21:42
XATRIXOk, gonna find the way out of this :)21:42
DocScrutinizer05I told you one way out of this: handle your USB stick like a normal HDD, install a system on it, incl bootloader, MBR and all21:43
DocScrutinizer05you find the files for that system on the CD your burned from your ISO21:43
XATRIXok21:44
XATRIXgive me some time to handle it21:44
DocScrutinizer05or you google for "create bootable usb memory stick from ISO9660"21:45
DocScrutinizer05or you read that article that pali linked for you, i guess it will come up with instructions eventually21:46

*** Pali has quit IRC21:56
DocScrutinizer05alas all this still doesn't solve your problem with making a second partition on USB stick available21:57
DocScrutinizer05but then, you could store stuff on the first partition that also holds the iso, I guess21:58
*** Nitial has joined #maemo21:58
*** peetah has joined #maemo21:59
DocScrutinizer05or you follow my advice and simply install a linux system to first partition of your USB stick, preferrably one that's meant to be able to clone itself to another harddisk. Google for Knoppix for example21:59
*** sardini has quit IRC22:01
DocScrutinizer05(though meanwhile virtually all live-distros should have a clone-to-HDD feature22:01

*** vblazquez has quit IRC22:09
DocScrutinizer05((you could store stuff on the first partition...)) actually you'd want to fix the actual size of the partition. (see http://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/11285.html >>0800 indicates that it's using 2048-byte sectors. The 9090 is a lie to convince the firmware that it's not a zero-sized disk without representing dangerous code.<<) You *might* be lucky with *first* dd-ing your ISO to the raw USB device (mmc5) and *THEN* creating one huge vfat22:12
DocScrutinizer05partition with fdisk, but *not* formating it with mkfs.vfat since that would ruin your ISO. If you're less lucky, your partition size is not a harmless opcode like "9090" and makes your PC to hang during boot. If you're however *extremely* lucky, you might even get away with creating two partitions - the forst one size of your ISO file plus a few MB for headroom, and then a second partition that you can mess around with all the way you22:12
DocScrutinizer05like (mkfs, write to, whatnot). Windows should detect both partitions (unless you booted from first one maybe) and due to your extreme luck the MBR you wrote is still as harmless as the 9090 above22:12

*** valeriusL has joined #maemo22:13
*** vblazquez has joined #maemo22:14
DocScrutinizer05then - if I understand your original intentions correct - there's a completely different approach to your problem, and that's by tweaking the way maemo fremantle exports the uSD22:18
*** valeriusL has quit IRC22:18
DocScrutinizer05so you would either use mass storage mode to have normal access to normal files as usuall, or you would use a special command installdisk-export.sh that does exactly that: export only the ISO so arbitrary PC can boot from it22:19
DocScrutinizer05*maybe* you could even export both concurrently22:20
DocScrutinizer05but that's not exactly a trivial hack22:21

tissiSo I followed this guide (http://wiki.maemo.org/Swap_on_microSD) to utilize microsd partition as swap memory22:36
tissigot it working fine, but after reboot the memory seems gone22:37
tissiconky says i just have 256 + 768 which is the normal ram / swap amount i think22:37
DocScrutinizer05what else do you expect to find?22:38

tissii mean the eMMC swap is still in use22:43
tissiafter initial success, conky told me i have 1,2 GB swap22:43

tissinontheless its obvious that the microsd swap isn't working correctly22:48
Lava_Croftif you use flopswap, make sure swapset and ereswap are not installed22:48
